1．A very old man went to live with his son，daughter-in-law，and a four-year-old grandson.The old man's hands trembled，his eyesight was not clear，and his step became weaker.The family ate together nightly at the dinner table.But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult.Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.When he grasped the glass，milk spilled on the tablecloth.The son and the daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess."We must do something about Grandfather，" said the son."I've had enough of his spilt milk，noisy eating，and food on the floor." So the husband and the wife set a small table in the corner.There，Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table.Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two，his food was served in a wooden bowl.Sometimes when the family glanced at Grandfather，he had tears in his eyes as he ate alone.Still，the only words the couple had for him were sharp（嚴厲的）when he dropped a fork or spilt food.The four-year-old boy watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper，the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps（碎片）on the floor.He asked the child sweetly，"What are you making？" Just as sweetly，the boy responded，"Oh，I am making little bowls for you and Mum to eat your food in when I grow up." The four-year-old boy smiled and went back to work.The words struck the parents so they were speechless.Then tears started to stream down their cheeks.Though no word was spoken，both knew what must be done.That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.
Let us all be wise builders and role models.Take care of yourself and those you love today，and every day!
（1）It was very difficult for Grandfather to have a meal because.
A．he couldn't walk steadily
B．he couldn't see clearly
C．he couldn't grasp things firmly
D．both B and C
（2）The underlined word "irritated" in the first paragraph probably means "".
A．embarrassed

（3）The reason why the grandson made wooden bowls for his parents was that.
A．he followed what his parents had done
B．he thought it was very interesting to have meals with wooden bowls
C．he was angry with what his parents had done

2．There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling．No school I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill．There are，however，different ideas about how to teach it，or how much priority （優(yōu)先） it must be given over general language development and writing ability．The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities （復雜性） of spelling．That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content （內(nèi)容） rather than spelling．
If spelling becomes the only focus of his teacher's interest，clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe"．He will tend to write only words within his spelling range，choosing to avoid adventurous language．
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a piece of writing about a personal experience． "This work is terrible!There are far too many spelling mistakes and your writing is terrible．" It may have been a sharp comment on the pupil's spelling in writing，but it was also a sad sign that the teacher had failed to read the composition，which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings．The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes，but if his priorities had centered on the child's ideas，an expression of his disappointment with the spelling would have given the pupil more encouragement to seek improvement．
（1）Teachers are different in their opinions about．
A．the difficulties in teaching spelling
B．the complexities of the basic writing skills
C．the role of spelling in general language development and writing ability
D．the necessity of teaching spelling
（2）Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that．
A．students will have more confidence in studying
B．students will be able to express their ideas more freely
C．students will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
D．students will learn to be independent of teachers
（3）The author seems to think that the teacher's comment on that piece of writing is．
A．fair
B．unreasonable
C．a(chǎn)musing
D．careless
（4）The major point discussed in the passage is．
A．the importance of developing writing skills
B．the complexities of spelling
C．the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition
D．the correct way of marking compositions組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times.Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for Science，one of the highest honors in the world.Some women scientists never married，some worked with their husbands，and others raised large families.It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England，Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth.Mary and her father collected fossils（化石）in their village on the south coast of Great Britain.Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.
When she was only twelve years old，Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons
（骨架）of several animals that no longer existed on the earth.She didn't become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891，a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics.She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland.She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie.Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together.They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist.Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911，this time for Chemistry.Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist.
